Wheaton College - Massachusetts

Subject:

Description:

This class explores dynamic issues such as race, gender, class, sexuality and spirituality, framed through revolving case studies of world dance traditions. We will consider the impact of colonialism on expressive forms and how controversies emerge through transformative shifts in ownership. We will look at how definitive dance styles materialize through negotiation and the appropriation of marginalized influences, and how people use dance to embody, define, reinforce and empower personal and shared identity.
